Miles Teller on Top Gun 3: everybody's excited — after Cruise races Days of Thunder
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Miles Teller said the Top Gun 3 gang is "really excited" and hopes Tom Cruise wants to "fly some planes" once he finishes Days of Thunder. Paramount put a third Top Gun officially in the works at CinemaCon, and Teller called Cruise the closest thing to a mentor many of them had, joking he has "had to hang up on Tom because he's so excited." Deadline and Just Jared match the quotes; Maverick remains Cruise's highest-grossing film at over $1.4 billion worldwide, with Christopher McQuarrie previously saying the story is already in the bag.
Rooster ready when Maverick is — or will Days of Thunder keep the jets grounded a while yet?
